Missions
"But you shall receive power when the
Holy Spirit has come upon you;
and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem,
and in all Judea
and Samaria,
and to the end of the earth."
Acts 1:8
I want to take this opportunity to spread the word about the church's ongoing and upcoming Missions Ministries. Locally, we will be partnering with Streetwise Georgia this Holiday Season to help provide a wonderful Thanksgiving and Christmas to people in our community. We also continue to support local ministries such as the Pregnancy Resource Center of Gwinnett and the Southeast Gwinnett Co-op, as well as two international congregations which are mission churches of FBC Snellville - The Good News Haitian Church and the First South Asian Church of Metro Atlanta.
Across North America, we are planning family mission opportunities within the state of Georgia and the surrounding region. We are partnering with the Music Ministry to involve our wonderful Student Choir in mission work in New Orleans next summer during the Southern Baptist Convention. We have also begun talking with a church in Maine about helping them with evangelistic outreach!

Internationally, we will be returning to Nicaragua during Spring Break 2012 to continue working in the village of El Bongo, where our church has invested heavily over the last two years. Registration for this trip is closed, as we have 24 team members already committed! This will be our largest group to Nicaragua thus far. Plans are being made to start a new work in a village in Haiti next summer, where no church currently exists. I am also very excited to announce that we plan to take a team across the Atlantic to Benin, Africa, to help an existing church with evangelistic crusades and medical ministry. Registration information about the Haiti and Benin trips will be released in the coming months.
I hope that every Christian reading this message will commit to being involved in missions either locally or globally. For more information about any of these mission opportunities please contact me at thyatt@fbcsnell.org or my assistant, Teresa Williamson at twilliamson@fbcsnell.org, or you may call the Outreach & Missions office at 770-978-5723.
